Episode 598: Heather Woods Broderick

“Many of us yearn for stillness and peace, as an escape from the movement all around us,” Heather Woods Broderick says of her latest LP. “Yet movement is perpetual, happening all the time on some level.” But Labyrinths was conceived at the stillest moment for many: March 2020. It was a moment to improve her home production and build from scratch. The album arrived in an entirely different world, after things had reopened and musicians returned to their lifeblood of touring.

Heather Woods Broderick Explores Fleeting Moments on "Wherever I Go"

There is an art to seeing beauty in small moments as they’re experienced, something Heather Woods Broderick expresses masterfully in her new single, “Wherever I Go.” Tackling existential questions in a way that is offhand, yet still reverent, the Maine-born, Los Angeles-based songwriter seems to reflect on the freedom gained by knowing experiences are fleeting, but there’s always something to be gained.

In “Wherever I Go,” Broderick is interested in how we carry our experiences with us. “The simplest things seem to take me away,” she sings at the end of the first verse. In the accompanying video, this line sees Heather leaving her idyllic suburban yard, where children play on repetitive loops, for the wide-open landscape of the desert. “The repetitions in daily life are playfully represented in the suburban scenes decorated by glitchy/GIF companions,” Heather commented when sharing her thoughts about the video, “and the wide open landscape shots reflect the free, pure joy that exists inside each day if you go find it.”

As Heather sings, posing questions about human nature – “I think about what we all look like from above,” she ponders in verse two, “a dense mass of foliage winding a labyrinth around our love” – the video cycles back and forth, to glitchy suburban scenes, then to Heather dancing to the chorus, free and alone in the environment once again. It feels like being trapped and then being released, holding a sort of irony – we are expected to participate, but we are also expected to let go. Broderick wanted to convey this, the "juxtaposition of having some fun, and letting go against the repetitive nature of daily life.” You can check out the video, directed by Jeremy Johnstone, below.

The reflection present in “Wherever I Go” serves as a preview to the exploratory nature of Broderick’s upcoming LP, Labyrinth, out this Friday via Western Vinyl. Previous singles include “Admiration,” “Crashing Against The Sun,” and “Blood Run Through Me,” all of which express the experience of being human, which to Broderick is more circular than linear. “Many of us yearn for stillness and peace… Yet movement is perpetual, happening all the time on some level. It is linear in part, but infinite in its circuitry. Our lives just punctuate it.”

If you’d like to check out “Wherever I Go,” or Heather’s previous singles, you can stream them wherever you listen to music. Labyrinth is also available for pre-order ahead of its release this Friday. And don’t forget to follow Heather on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

Beth Orton Live Preview: 11/10, Mayfair Theatre, Chicago

BY JORDAN MAINZER

For Beth Orton, Weather Alive (Partisan) is somewhat of a rebirth. Her first album in 6 years, it was written on a described “cheap, crappy” piano set up in her garden shed that she had purchased at Camden Market. Following periods of grief and trauma surrounding the deaths of close collaborators Andrew Weatherall and Hal Willner and incorrectly diagnosed health problems, Orton was able to write songs about simple, yet abstract things that moved her: love, sex, music, and, yes, the weather. She found an all-star band to help realize her compositions, including drummer Tom Skinner, multi-instrumentalist Shahzad Ismaily, bassist Tom Herbert and saxophonist Alabaster dePlume. Best, Orton self-produced the record, name-checking and somehow nailing a who’s who of influences: Solange, Talk Talk, Springsteen’s Nebraska. The result is easily the best album of her career.

From the get-go, with its stunning title track, Weather Alive introduces its palate, clacking, gentle percussion and piano, muted, but emotive saxophone and bass, and Orton’s raspy, weary drawl. “Almost makes me wanna cry,” she sings, “The weather’s so beautiful outside.” Coming out of an age where realized how much we took for granted the ability to simply be outside, it’s easy to resonate with Orton’s words, awestruck at the natural world. On “Fractals”, explicitly inspired by Willner and Weatherall’s deaths, Orton sings over funky bass, skittering hi hats, and fluttering saxophone. The mathematical nature of the title contrasts how Orton describes creating with cohorts past and present: as “magic.” “Friday Night” is like a microcosm of the beginning of the summer, a symbol for vague hope before a period of time. For Orton, it’s a feeling of being able to potentially see loved ones again. “And though I’ll never get too close,” she sings, “I still hold you now and then.”

At the same time, Weather Alive is sometimes subsumed by dark moments that are no less gorgeous than the hopeful ones. “Lonely” begins with trombone from Aaron Roche, which has a suitably more foreboding quality than dePlume’s saxophone, and goes on to illustrate the depths of Orton’s shame. “Lonely likes my company,” she sings as Skinner’s drums crash. Later, her parents, who passed away when she was a teenager, appear on the song to scold her, telling her to “shut your mouth if someone desires you.” On “Haunted Satellite”, Orton’s voice is persistent, but ultimately shaky and broken. Album closer “Unwritten” unfurls over 7 minutes of sprinkling piano and light drums. “I was getting unwritten,” signs Orton before a droning instrumental outro. It’s an appropriate ending for an album steeped in mortality and sadness but appreciating the dreams along the way.

Tonight, as part of her first US headlining tour in 5 years, Orton performs at the Mayfair Theatre in the Irish American Heritage Center, somehow, someway adapting the “magic” of Weather Alive to the live stage. Expect to hear the full album as well as favorites from favorite records like Trailer Park and Central Reservation. Musician and composer Heather Woods Broderick, who’s playing in Orton’s band, will give an opening set of her material.
